China is a country of 9,600,000 square kilometres
in size, with a population of more than 1,200,000,000. Chinese
civilization dates back 5000 years ago, and her unique culture
and tradition attracts more and more international visitors.
The past twenty years have witnessed China as one of the fastest
growing countries in the world.
Higher education in China has been well developed.
There are over 2000 universities and colleges, with more than
6 million enrollments in total. China has set up a degree
system, including Bachelors, Masters and Doctoral degrees
that are open to foreign students.
China has a 50-year history of having foreign
students studying in her universities and colleges. Therefore,
the institutions have rich experiences of accommodating foreign
students in China. Out of over 2000 universities and colleges,
more than 300 of them now have foreign students studying on
their campuses.
The programs provided foreign students by universities
and colleges include two-year program (after senior high school),
Bachelor, Master and doctor degree programs, non-degree programs
and Chinese language programs.
All universities and colleges with foreign students
provide conditions for the students to live within or near
the campuses. Foreign students studying in China can also
live out of campus if they would prefer to do so.
Those who wish to study for degree have to go
through an examination - only those whose exam scores are
up to the required standard can become registered students
to study for a degree.
Scholarship programs are bilateral exchange
programs, and those who want to apply to study in China on
a Chinese scholarship have to go through their government.
Private students can make application directly to the university
or college that you wish to study at.
